Supposedly one of the hallmark bipolar things is buying a lot but also in weekends at bellvue she mentioned the headdress ie if you come in wearing a tiara or circlet it's probably bipolar....I was looking at these big flower ones....for a costume but still....maybe....I'll have to think about this....

Yeah I can relate, I'm not an emotional person either. But in my mind I make a distinction between "emotions" and "moods"... there's a lot more to bipolar than the emotions that can accompany it. The mood symptoms tend to be what sets off the accompanying emotions for most people with bipolar. Particularly with the depression side of my bipolar, I don't experience sadness or other negative emotions. I just get the other mood symptoms of depression, ie sleeping too much, not getting out of bed, not being motivated, no energy, etc. With mania I do experience euphoria, but it's not the same as I've heard others describe it. My innate psychology is responsible for this, my emotional range just isn't very wide so I don't experience this huge spectrum of emotions like a lot of people with bipolar do.
